Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
Fresh off of the Trade Deadline, the Yankees have had an interesting week. They dropped a series to the Cardinals where their offense exploded in the opener only for the bullpen to have a rare disappointing performance and then disappeared for the next two games, bringing them into a series with a red-hot Atlanta team […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Gerald Williams
While he might be a name that you associate with the good years of the 1990s Yankees, Gerald Williams never played on a Yankees’ championship team. (He was on the 1996 Yankees, but was traded away during the season, although he was awarded a ring.) He had some good seasons, but he was never an […]
How the sinker helped Paul Blackburn transform into a relief ace
Welcome back to our series on the innovations the Yankees pitching department is making with the sinker! They’ve dusted off the pitch from a period of league-wide dormancy and have a renewed focus on disseminating it across as much of their pitching room as are willing to use it. In May, I kicked off the […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: The Rays extend their AL East lead
Sigh. Cam Schlittler goes seven innings, allows only one run to a pretty potent Braves lineup, the bullpen gets six scoreless outs, and the Yankees lose. “You can’t predict baseball, Suzyn.“ Also though. Baseball can be profoundly dumb sometimes. To make matters worse, the Rays won again. That puts the Yanks 5.5 games back of […]
Yankees prospects: McCann’s two homers power thrilling Renegades victory
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 9-8 vs. Rochester Red Wings SS Anthony Volpe 1-5, K — not as exciting as his first game back in Triple-A, but to his credit he legged out what could’ve been an infield single (but was ruled an error) that tied the game as part of a five-run eighthLF Jasson Domínguez […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/10/26
The Yankees came oh-so-close to a scintillating sweep of the Braves, but the offense sputtered once again in another extra-innings loss yesterday. Even so, the series victory over Atlanta did serve as proof of concept. Thanks to their stellar pitching, this offensively limited version of the Yankees very much can beat the best teams in […]
Yankees news: Aaron Boone believes in magic
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: I wish I believed in anything as much as Aaron Boone believes the Yankees’ offensive woes will just magically fix themselves. Since Tuesday, the day their big trade deadline acquisitions made their debuts, the Yankees have scored just 12 runs in five games. Boone acknowledges this team can be really […]
Yankees squander Cam Schlittler’s gem, fall to Braves in extra innings
“Max Fried and Gerrit Cole combined to allow two runs through 13.1 innings in the opening contests. Should similar events unfold today, a sweep is tantalizingly close.” So said the idiot who authored today’s game thread. And the monkey’s paw curled. Similar events unfolded as Cam Schlittler delivered a masterful performance and the bullpen held […]
New York Yankees vs. Atlanta Braves: Cam Schlittler vs. Grant Holmes
The first two games of this series against Atlanta, the NL East front-runner and a possible postseason opponent should the Yankees go deep in October, have gone almost as well as possible, considering the glaring holes in the New York lineup. Starting pitching has been a huge reason for that success. Max Fried and Gerrit […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Welcome to the Concrete Jungle
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The Trade Deadline is in the rearview mirror, a top prospect has made his MLB debut, and the heavens opened up and brought a deluge to the Bronx. And while Yankees fans have certainly made their opinions […]
Carlos Rodón pleased with his rehab outing at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
MOOSIC, Pa. — It wasn’t about the results. What mattered was how Carlos Rodón felt after making a rehab start Saturday night for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders against the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Field. Since he felt good, the New York Yankees’ left-hander was satisfied with the outing despite allowing three runs and three […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ralph Houk
The Yankees have had some decent success in replacing franchise cornerstones over the years. Back in the day, they had a run at catcher that, with some small gaps, went from Bill Dickey to Yogi Berra to Elston Howard to Thurman Munson. Their careers overlapped, but Mickey Mantle became the Yankees’ center fielder shortly after […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays win again, but Red Sox finally lose
It wasn’t to the same degree as Friday night, but for the second straight day, the Yankees beat the Braves with some dramatics. Ben Rice’s eighth-inning home run ended up proving the difference, despite an Atlanta rally attempt in the ninth inning. George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones also had nice days, as the Yankees […]
Yankees prospects: Luis Puello homers twice in Tampa win

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/9/26
The good vibes resonated all around Yankee Stadium on Saturday. Old-Timers’ Day has that kind of effect on fans regardless, but unlike in many of the previous recent Old-Timers’ Days (Josh noted that they were 2-8 in their last 10 of ‘em), the modern Yanks showed up. Gerrit Cole was up to the task of […]
Yankees news: Mariano Rivera returns on triumphant Old-Timers’ Day
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: A year after rupturing his Achilles tendon while chasing down a Willie Randolph fly ball hit to center field, Mariano Rivera marked a successful return to Old-Timers’ Day. The all-time saves leader and Hall of Famer had to undergo surgery to repair the injury and admitted that he “still [has] to […]
Yankees’ rookies lead the way in Old-Timers’ Day win over Atlanta
Baseball’s a funny sport. Old-Timers’ Day activities had us awash in the nostalgia of past Yankee greatness. Chris Sale and Gerrit Cole were starting today, two of the defining pitchers of their rapidly-closing era. Yet as our attention turned to the past, then to the ever-fleeting present, it was the future of the Yankees that […]
New York Yankees vs. Atlanta Braves: Gerrit Cole vs. Chris Sale
Set the clock back seven or eight years and this is the premier game of the weekend. Neither Gerrit Cole nor Chris Sale are fully the Cy Youngs they used to be, and yet they’re both still quite good in 2026. After a nailbiter of a win yesterday, Cole will look to give the Yankees […]
The Yankees Reliever Confidence Index: August Edition
At last Monday’s Trade Deadline, the Yankees had an opportunity to augment a bullpen that, despite ranking second in MLB in both ERA and xERA, seemingly had room for another high-end arm. Instead, GM Brian Cashman traded away Camilo Doval, Jake Bird, and Yovanny Cruz. The most charitable interpretation here is addition by subtraction. Doval […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Anthony Rizzo
Since Don Mattingly’s retirement after the 1995 season, the Yankees have generally filled the first base spot by bringing in an established veteran. First it was Tino Martinez, then it was Jason Giambi, before Mark Teixeira filled that role from 2009 through 2016. For five years after him, the position became a turnstile, with Greg […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox drop a baker’s dozen on the Athletics as Payton Tolle strikes out 14
As improbable as it seems, the Yankees won both a one-run game and an extra innings game in one fell swoop, Ryan McMahon’s tenth inning sac fly enough to sink the Braves, 3-2. Max Fried tossed 6.1 scoreless while his offense waited until the ninth inning to score their first runs. There were a handful […]
The Yankees are raising their defensive ceiling with George Lombard Jr.
Shortstop is by far the most important position on the infield. Having a capable fielder there brings peace of mind to the rest of the defense and, perhaps more importantly, to pitchers. The Yankees know this. Shortstops on the team have had, overall, a solid defensive year, with Jose Caballero racking up 10 Defensive Runs […]
Yankees prospects: Volpe, Domínguez both homer in return to Triple-A
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 5-13 vs. Rochester Red Wings SS Anthony Volpe 1-5, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 R, 3 K, throwing error — first game since getting demoted, homered in second at-batLF Jasson Domínguez 2-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB — followed suit with a homer in the seventh2B Max Schuemann […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/8/26
The Yankees haven’t exactly been in a slide with their win-loss ratio of late, but they’ve had some tough losses that could’ve easily been prevented by the offense looking alive instead of comatose. Friday night was looking like one of those losses, as they failed to capitalize on a strong Max Fried start and were […]
Yankees news: Yanks planning out Carlos Rodón’s return
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Later today, Carlos Rodón is set to make a rehab start in Triple-A. The pitcher has been out since June 30th with elbow inflammation, but his return could be close. The team may or may not give him one more rehab outing, but either way, he’ll be back […]
